Command verb
وَقَـٰتِلُوهُمْ (And fight (against) them) is a command — it's telling someone to do something.
We translate it as a direct command — "[Do this]!"
Verb form III — mutual action
وَقَـٰتِلُوهُمْ (And fight (against) them) uses form III (فَاعَلَ) — it describes doing something with or to each other.
The action involves two parties.
Conjunction وَ (and)
وَقَـٰتِلُوهُمْ (And fight (against) them) starts with وَ, the most common Arabic word — it means "and".
We add "and" to connect this to what came before.
Sahih International
Fight them until there is no [more] fitnah and [until] religion [i.e., worship] is [acknowledged to be] for Allāh. But if they cease, then there is to be no aggression [i.e., assault] except against the oppressors.
